At Windsor, Ont., trailing 4-3 after 40 minutes, the Spitfires exploded for five goals with Johnson's two, Aleardi's second goal, Brown's first in the OHL and Rychel's team-leading 34th goal of the season into an empty net.

Brown scored the game-winner when he rifled a wrist shot off a pass from Khokhlachev while parked at the top of the left face-off circle.

Playing in just his 12th career game, Brown also added an assist and was named the game's first star.

Jordan Dekort made 29 saves to pick up the win in goal, while Devin Williams made 39 stops in defeat.
